Sony Ericsson has confirmed the worst-kept secret of the year, with the company confirming during the Super Bowl in the United States the existence of the Xperia PLAY – or more commonly known by its other name, the PlayStation Phone.

The company’s ad shows off, in a more gruesome fashion, the Android robot being added thumbs – of course symbolising the fact that this phone will be a PlayStation Phone. The company has also revealed on its Facebook page that it will announce more details on February 13 at 6PM GMT – or, 5AM on February 14 if you live in the Eastern seaboard (except Queensland).
